Each September, thousands of people (120,000 in 2008) come together to celebrate and take care of our nation's amazing network of public lands. National Public Lands Day, Saturday, September 26, is a way to give back to the places that provide us with the outdoor experiences we cherish. Volunteers do a variety of projects including building trails and outdoor structures, planting trees and removing trash. If you have never volunteer for one of these projects - now it the time. Check out: http://www.publiclandsday.org. Most states host at least one public lands day site and many have several.
Leave No Trace hopes to support as many volunteers as possible this year. We have many FREE resources available on the Leave No Trace website. Please visit: http://lnt.org/training/educationaltraining.php and feel free to download, print and distribute the information you need. By providing Leave No Trace information and training to NPLD volunteers, we're helping to ensure the future integrity of our nation's treasured public lands system.

It's a great idea to combine your principles with National Public Lands Day. Please note, though, that your link to the resources is broken.
Thank you, Trail Voice. The link has been fixed!
